The Admin User can see all the folders, saved files, colour schemes and print layouts belonging to their organisation. This means that the Admin User can read, copy or modify maps and other files belonging to Standard Users in the same organisation.
This is what an Admin User sees when they open a map, save a map etc and see the folder view for the first time.
The Admin User can see the following folder types:
Folder |
Description |
|---|---|
_Org: |
This contains maps, aerial photographs, schemes and layouts shared by all the users in the organisation. |
_Group: |
These contain maps, aerial photographs, schemes and layouts shared by the members of the group. The group name is always the same as the folder name. |
_Private: |
These contain maps, aerial photographs, schemes and layouts that are private and accessible only by the user named on the folder and the Admin User. |
The Admin User may want to use Promap and find seeing other group and user folders irritating. For this reason you can turn off your administration access while you are using Promap. By turning the administrator access off, normal permissions will apply and the Admin User will only see the Org, Group (if they belong to one) and Private folders for themselves. The Admin User will no longer see other users' private and group folders. Go to To change General Settings to find out how to do this.
